The Magic of Motorized, Automatic Shades for Windows

Imagine the luxury of opening your blinds to welcome the day—all from the comfort of your bed. Or closing your shades to darken a space without having to stop watching your favorite TV show on the sofa.

You might think that automatic shades for windows are an over-the-top luxury that doesn’t fit into your home, but at Rebarts Blinds & Shades, our design experts look at the big picture. Home automation marries the luxury of convenience and refined finishes, with benefits that are well worth the investment. And best of all, the system works like magic.

Powered by Bluetooth technology, Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation lets you operate window treatments with a remote control, an app, or voice commands when paired with your smart home system. Each shade contains a small, integrated motor within the frame controlled by a wireless signal. You can open, close, or adjust your shades or blinds on the spot or according to set schedules. The window treatments move without visible cords or pulls.

PowerView® Automation works with the Pebble® Remote, the PowerView® app, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, and many other home automation systems PowerView® Automation also synchronizes with other smart devices in your home.

We offer Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation on most of our window coverings:

• Blinds
• Poly shutters
• Cellular shades
• Roller shades
• Roman shades
• Sheer panels
• Sheer shades

Once installed, PowerView® Automation offers homeowners these benefits.

• Safety: PowerView® Automation is cord-free, eliminating choking hazards for young children and small pets. Also, you won’t worry about the cords getting stuck in your vacuum cleaner.
• Durability: The system protects window treatments from damage caused by improper handling. There’s less wear and tear compared to manual systems.
• Accessibility: Automatic shades for windows are perfect for hard-to-reach windows and people with mobility concerns.
• Security: Programming schedules allow your window treatments to operate automatically, raising with the sunrise and lowering for evening privacy. You can even control them when you’re away from home. It’ll look like someone’s there when you're away from home.
• Energy Efficiency: The programming feature lets you modify settings to let in sunlight when it’s cold out or lower shades to keep in more warmth. Regulating room temperatures like this saves money on energy bills.
• Convenience: The ability to open and lower shades without getting up from bed is priceless.

Roller shades are a popular choice in many California homes. When paired with home automation, they become flexible enough to add to any space:

Hunter Douglas motorized roller shades with solar screen fabrics are one of the brand’s most energy-efficient choices. Designer Solar Shades come in different colors and five fabric opacities that reduce glare while maintaining outward views. Choose materials featuring GreenScreen® Sea-Tex™ fibers, made from recovered coastal and marine plastic.

Pirouette® Sheer Shades have a different profile. This hybrid roller style has flowing, luxurious fabric panels attached to soft, floating fabric vanes. These elegant treatments become even more versatile when motorized and automatically adjusted throughout the day for the most optimal lighting conditions. They roll up and into a discreet header for clear views, and can close for privacy as well.

PowerView® Automation revolutionized the window treatment industry and can make your life more convenient, safer, and energy efficient.
